Oreca didn´t homologate any bodywork for Rally2+Kit, only things under the bodywork. So you can use what car brand/model you want.
Biggest problem of Rally2+Kit is price, people are still driving with Impreza/Lancer because of that.
With some brands you could self built Rally4 (R2) car, I expect that similar will happen with Rally3, you don´t have to buy "ready to drive" car."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

To be able to compare apples and apples, it would be useful to know the aproximate 2020 prices in Euro for:
N5: ?
Maxi Rally: ?
AP4: ?
Price of R5: Aprox 240 000 Euro
Price of R4: Aprox 180 000 Euro
Price of R3 4wd: 100 000 Euro
Thinking of new car ready to rally, one setup, asphalt or Gravel.

FIA price cap is never the final one. R5 price cap was €180k and they’re sold around €250k; it would'nt be a surprise having Rally3 cars costing over €100k.

It was the new Rally4 car, that will be the basis for their Rally3!

It is too early for presentation of Rally3 car. But currently 3 manufacturers are working on it...

Back in 1993 I started rallying with a car that I bought with the equivalent of 2600 euros and it was fully according to FIA regulations. This cannot be done with all these extremely expensive R cars that have to be only "manufacturer made".
Also, more important than anything else, drivers like Sebastien Loeb will never get into rallying with the present R regulations. Seb, not being rich at all, started with a cheap Peugeot 106 XSi and immediately got into serious competition with it. If some other Seb wants to start these days, he will never find a way. The "manufacturer made" R cars are extremely expensive for the average young person. For this reason it is necessary that at least one category is left out of this "manufacturer made". But FIA doesn't seem to care.

What are you on about? You don’t have to start rallying in an up to date R class car. Mainly because you wouldn’t want to waste all that money on something you may well crash.
There is nothing about FIA homologated R-class cars that prevents people from starting their rallying competition off (avoiding the the word ‘career’ as that doesn’t really happen until a manufacturer pays you to drive i.e. professionally) in something older and cheaper. The real world isn’t a computer game where your ‘first rally’ is actually a World Rally round in the bottom class of WRC.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
